Swimming with dragons : Multi-Million Dollar Fish Farm | Witness
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2014
- The highly sought-after Malaysian golden arowana fish has disappeared from the wild. Yet today in Malaysia, buying and selling of the arowana, also known as the ornamental dragon fish, has become a multi-million dollar industry.
Over a decade ago, filmmaker Chew Han Tah learned of the dwindling number of wild arowana, and an obsession was born, much to the chagrin of his wife. Chew is exploring the potentially lucrative business of breeding arowana and is in the midst of moving his family to a new home so that he can upgrade his aquarium for his $30,000 worth of fish.
In this very personal journey into the heart of Malaysia's flourishing fish business, we see what motivates collectors and investors, and what fuels Chew's dreams.

I really respect and like this wonderful lady, who's full of positive energy and love. There should be more of this encouraging people!
This guy was so passionate about this fish species that he proposed it be made into the national fish of his country. Respect, honestly.
Better love story than twilight
Wife smiles even when addressing the annoyances...
She is such a sweetheart.
What wonderful fish !
A lovely story. Arawanas are beautiful ,graceful, fish.Unfortunately the fish is to large for my tanks. This man has a passion for these and passion at anything usually means he is good at it. I salute him and his lovely family.
YOU WORTH IT!
Such a hardworker
May god bless all of your family
I love that you shared this experience with the world. You have a beautiful home and family!
still happy that young generation wants to keep fish
I legit cried when the kids was talking about little red at the end and was touching the tv ........... I'm still crying
Amazing story! Such an inspiration!!
This has to be the best Arowana doc on the net, just a shame it has such a sad ending
i have asian arowana also and its pretty bad to lose a lovely arowana, its not about what arowana you have, its about how you kept her, how you.give efforts and love...
happy fish keeping to all keepers
condolence sir. i once have an arowana and died 3 days later because she jumped. i forgot to cover the small whole on my aquarium. but i believe my sadness cant be compared to yours since you and little red shared memories for many years.
Thanks for the upload.
I really like this Video... Respect to you Mr. Chew..
this legit made me cry. he loved lil red so much😭💓🐟
Thanks for sharing your family's story
The wife isn't crying for the fish,those are tears of joy she got rid of the side fish
Omg this comment is amazing.
Lmaooooooo
+Daniel Isabelle THIS IS THAT ALLAHU SNACK-BAR!!! CHANNEL.
You gave her the fish stick everyday
+Daniel Isabelle Tell me why I was thinking the same, like we know she's truly happy. Now shes ready for all the rest to die, lol.
It's such a beautiful documentary
This man give his life for Arowana.
My respect to him.
great video, how arowana is so precious even im in love with them and own 2 silver arowanas at home myself and i hate to see anyone die and so i can relate to this adorable family especially the dad's heart and passion in saving these endangering species
They live 50 years in the wild but only 10 in captivity? Wow that should tell you something
amazing you did a great job very inspiring!
So sad, You passion for these is very strong. You have beautiful tanks. Beautiful video, I enjoyed.
I love this and the story!
I am so sorry to hear you lost Little Red, She was so beautiful, one of a Kind.
What an End to a beautiful story.
I also had the Australian Pearl Arowana few years ago. It was about 6-8 inches in size when I bought it. I raised until she was about 20-22 inches and suddenly one day it died without any obvious reason.
I did realise the 4ft tank was not enough for her and was looking for a buyer who could keep her happy in a bigger aquarium but this did not happen.
But keeping in Arowana is a very good hobby would encourage anyone who wants to keep one (or many :).
One advise, get a 6-8 inches and then raise it.
Absolutely beautiful fish. I love the way you take care.
You are great person you live for your hobby, i really appreciate your love towards Arowana. I m from India. i love Arowana.thank you sir you motivate me
obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?
An Extraordinary doc, sure it's a lesson and an experience for lot of people. Cheers... for Lil RED
great video!
Beautiful family and really beautiful fish. Arowana its one of my favorite fish
expensive fishes he had there but he opted for cheapest and easiest way to move his fish to the new environment.
Beautiful documentary and arowanas...
Love the video, love the dragons even more, I could watch your video a dozen times and never get bored. Kudos my friend great job and awesome fish. I have 3silver arowanas and can't wait till some day have an Asian breed 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent video, the Arrowana is one of my favourite fish. I hope one day to own one.
Nice documentary.. and beautiful fish the chilli red. That guy is really passionate.
Great vid
his hobby is at another level, I feel u sir, but the different is Im an aquatic turtle lover
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful story about Arowana sir
I am planning to buy an silver Arowana. I prefer to keep Arowana in huge tanks single with good filteration , water changes very low daily, and healthy shrims and home made special food for Arowana.
Good story about Little Red. Wish you all the best in keeping arowana.
be strong bro..i know how it feels of loosing our favourite fish
Sorry for your loss , i offer my deepest condolences .
I never figure why I like the Dragon fish so much but I was born on a boat from vietnam going to Malaysia, birth cert over there.. parents named me golden Dragon in Vietnamese "Kim long" I one day would like Togo Malaysia but with all the planes going down I highly doubt I'll go.... Anyways that's my story and thanks for uploading this documentary!
I CANT WAIT FOR LENT!!!!
I see what you did there 😆
Once you transfer arowana into a new tank, its a new environment for her. You hv to put the plastic into the tank for a few hours, then open the plastic and let her go out by itself
I really love ur passion for arowana
the guy who helped you move the fish killed little red, he poured the fish in the tank right away worh no acclimatization, and were those tanks even properly cycled?
Meh i dont think tank cycle was the issue..No acclimation and i think way too much clove oil..
The cycle wasnt the issue. They put her/him way to fast. They should've waited for the temperature in the bag was the same wit the tank & then slowly put in some of the tank water in the bag.
But no, they just *bloop* put her in.
Exactly
VIC!!!!
Love watching this video a true arowana hobbyist
这个家庭真的不简单，我没看过一个家庭有养超过四十条龙鱼每一条都是顶级红龙，只是鱼都超过50千，真的是佩服佩服呀
Awesome movie man love it
woow.terbaik bro...
It was so emotional i cried😢😭😭😭
thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that. the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into different water without acclimating it first.
How to do that ?? And why other fishes managed not this one??
I wish this cool family lots of success in breeding Asian arowanas so one they can be legal to own in the USA. One day I'll have one😁
That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).
Great story
RIP little red. I never knew you, but i still miss you.
great story
In the video, you can just happen to see those sedatives were polled directly on little red, that might be the reasons why she wasn't so resistant during the capturing, ultimately leading to her dead.
Nice documantry
I watched this arowana video a few times coolest 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😄
very unfortunate about the death of Arowana
The death occurred because of the lack of water prepared in the temporary shelter aquarium
and the person who helped move Arowana is not an expert
I can feel your pain of losing a pet that you love so much. I love birds and fish the most. may God help you.
whatever it is... i liked it and appriciate his love towards his fish.. could see from his eyes.. when he saw fish dead.. true love towards his fish.. great..
That was poetic. Well said.
Aqui em 2017 só pra admirar mais uma vez....... o/
Best man! 👍💚
Poor little red. She was such a nice fish. I had a pet fish I loved so much and then I came home from work and found him dead. It has been six years years since his death that I have brought another fish into my life.
i feel the same with the father my dog just passed away just couples of hours
Boss nice to eat besides big super red arowana.kudoz to you.hope you win someday in a competition..
"After the documentary I made about how collectors are driving the Arowana to extinction the first thing I did was become a collector"
He collects only farm breed ones.
Boss where is this place where they catch aroawana in the wild?
Very beautiful!!!!
I;m sad.. I'm also fish enthusiast.. nice, good story..
i think the sedatives in the bag was not removed and was poured into the main tank along with the red
How exactly are you maintaining the water parameters
Hi uncle why we must put pink light for super red aro?
Lovely fish
what were the soundtracks used please?
try to lake Sentarum Kalimantan, perhaps there is still a lot of arowana
i agree with other ppl that the fish died b/c of temperature shock. must always acclimate them to new tank! .
what about the drugs he poured in?
Billy Corners doesn't really mater, it was a big tank, now if they would've left her in the tank with that, now that would be a problem. They should've temperature acclimate and then slowly started to put the tank water in the bag. That would've been way way better than what they did.
Billy Corners that was clove oil most probably
arowanas have scales which helps them tolerate temperature.
I know how it feels to lose a fish, it sucks. I feel like a failure no matter what.
I want one!
Hi uncle, how long u on the light for ur arowana?
Acute stress is a serious thing in the fish keeping hobby.
I believe they could have taken extra steps to prevent "Little Red's" passing.
A young arowana on malaysia cost around Rm40 while the adult one is around Rm200+
some are even 5000+. it depends on the type...
all family teamwork 😊
I've had large arrowana and flowerhorn
Never use seditave on a huge fish like that
Also the fish was not properly acclimated even if s h e was not properly acclimated she did not have enough air all they did was run the tank in a situation like that you fill the tank with 5 even 10 air pumps get the water filled with air also there is no reason why they could not have slipped a few battery operated air line in put her in a 40 gal. And transport her that way it's awful
I love this family, that really heartbreaking when Little Red dead.
Nice, im happy to see even they use batting poly quilt that stuff does work nice I guess. Walmart for like $8? make sure its 100% poly. 18:10
nice music
BEAUTIFUL FISH ARAWANA !! I HAVE 2 GIVE ME SO MUCH HAPPY NESS
I'm surprised that a fish aficionado was so sloppy in the transport and the reintroduction of his prized fish into new waters. You'd think he'd be more knowledgable about it all.
R those tiger bards in the tank ???
That sedative must have killed it
it's the formula he made for the fish to calm down it was way to concentrated and he knows it
I didn't expect that it's going to be sad at the end.
Albino gold wowowow it will be very cool
